I lost tack of time on the fermentation time of a batch of Nutbrown Ale. It has been in the fermenter since 12/10/2011. Should I expect any problems. The temp has been consistently between 66 and 70 degrees.

It is just fine, I'm sure. Actually it is probably better off sitting this long.

Letting it set that long is probably better than if you had followed the kit instructions. I always let mine sit in the fermenter for 3-4 weeks.

It's fine. That's probably normal for me. Depending on how busy/lazy I am, it might sit for another couple of weeks.

OK then. Thanks for the input. I wrote down the date in a log book but was thinking it was only about two weeks ago. Der. Anyway, I'll bottle this weekend and see how she goes.
